The Spanish holidays drove a rollercoaster this year as the country’s tourism suffered at the hands of the corona virus pandemic. The country was cut off from a travel corridor in the UK on July 25 amid rising COVID-19 cases. This means that anyone returning from the mainland Spain, the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands will have to pay a 14-day ban.
Although these rules still apply to the mainland and the Balearics, the Canaries are now free.
The islands off the coast of northwest Africa have been added to the ‘safe’ list following a Thursday announcement by Transport Secretary Grant Shoppe.
